The
cypress cabinets for the yellow house bathroom is nearing completion. The first slabs I cut into for face frame material had a lot of dry rot and checking, I was worried that I might not have enough good wood for more important elements like door panels and drawer fronts. Luckily the worst of the wood was on top and the gems were buried beneath. Yesterday I glued up the doors and cut out drawer fronts, the only thing left to glue up is the counter top and I have two beautiful slabs waiting to be used.

The weather has been beautiful, yesterday the temps were in the high 70's making it difficult to stay in the shop. A day old baby goat gave me good reason to get outside and make sure its mother was taking care of it. Before this summer like weather we had an excellent week of rain, the creek came up, the grass took off and the goats manger was saturated.

Our summer time bridge (a 2x12) could no longer be used for crossing so we started using a pepperwood tree that fell across the creek last year. It was a bit sketchy especially when wet so Oliver and I grabbed some short 2x scraps, a chainsaw, hammers and nails and made our creek crossing safer. Now we can cross the tree without fearing we might slip, even with items in hand.
